What is a Full Time Job?

Post by steffan »

Hello
One of the primary advantages to a full time job is that it often comes with routine benefits such as healthcare, vacation time, sick pay, and payments into pension funds. In addition, there is the possibility of overtime pay in most full time jobs, since employees are already working the maximum allowable hours. However, the flip side of this coin is that full time jobs can be very demanding, and the hours are usually strict and rigid. As a result, employees must be committed to their work.

Often, a full time position is one of more authority, since the company is willing to invest training and energy into someone who is working full hours. It is possible to work one's way up to a full time position in a company, as often happens when people start as part time employees or temps. Once the employee proves that he or she is a valuable asset, a request for more hours is more negotiable.
thanks
